First time here by referral from a friend. The woman at the desk was ice-y and made me feel a little unwelcome. No biggie. I paid to have my eyebrows waxed and dyed, which of course was very pricey but I understood this to be a pricier place and if the result was worth it, so would be the expense. Unfortunately, the skin under my one eyebrow was burned from the wax being too hot and now I have a scab which I hope will not scar. Very disappointed in the price I paid, especially when considering in contrast to my result. I deeply regret going there. Read Less

Don't go there! It's snooty and the people there are clueless. Just like other reviewers have mentioned, Frank comes off like he knows what he's talking about but in reality, not as smart as he thinks he is. I got up and walked out too. I wanted highlights and he went on and on about how he can't do highlights on my dark brown hair. I have had highlights done a million times. I am trying to find a new salon and only went here bc Groupon had a special. Paid $85 on Groupon to get highlights and instead got aggravated and walked out. I got my money back. Please don't waste your money. Read Less

Went to Frank for color, cut and blowout. Terrible experience, the color and cut are NOT anything like what I asked for, and I came with pictures. The blowout was horrific. I would never go back.

This place was just OK. Nothing phenomenal. Wouldn't come back.I asked for barrel curls and had Frank curl my hair. He curled my hair with no style and I looked like a fake Shirley Temple. It definitely wasn't what I asked for and that cost $50.I then got my makeup done by (I completely forget her name but she was this black girl with an amazing personality!) She did an amazing smokey eye on me, but the rest of the makeup was mediocre. I saw another woman who had her makeup done and it was that typical overdone Jersey style makeup. I had to fix my makeup so I would like it. They had some cheap products too, like Maybelline Stiletto mascara. I thought it was high end makeup? This cost me $70.During makeup, a customer cancelled their appointment and the staff bitched about them for like 10 minutes out loud. That's great customer service. Not! I went to pay my $120 bill and was told with an attitude that tips are cash only. Maybe a sign or something would help?If it wasn't for the makeup artist and the friendly conversation we had during makeup application, I'd give this place 1 star. I wouldn't come back. Read Less

My first experience at here was phenomenal! I went to get a blow out for an event I was going to, and loved it! My hair looked amazing (and stayed in all night), and they even did my eye make up free of charge because I was a first time client.  I was so happy with my experience that I went back 6 weeks later for a cut and color.  Mistake.  My hair was only layered on one side, and the color was streaky and over processed.  Worst of all, the highlights didn't even go all the way to my scalp, and within 4 weeks I had terrible roots.  I was so disappointed, and totally embarassed to walk around with hair like that until I had time to get it fixed.  Definitely wouldn't recommend for cut and color :( Read Less

All I want is matching eyebrows that compliment my face and tinted a color that matches my complexion. Shouldn't be too hard, right? After a few years and dozens of failed attempts I finally found Lisa! She is very good at what she does and listens to her customers. No pressure and very relaxing. Everyone is always nice and friendly. My teenage daughter had her hair and makeup done for her Sweet 16 and they made her look like a princess. They were also able to remedy her own botched hair styling attempt.  Nice location. I like that I can walk a few doors down to grab a coffee at starbucks to sip while I wait, which is never too long. They offer facials and nail services, too. I have only had one of each over the years and both were very good, but neither is something I do regularly, so I can't really review on a single service. But the waxings are regular for me and I am super happy with this salon and refuse to go anywhere else! Read Less

I've been going here since I was 14. My mom found me Penny (love love love) when I was 14 to cut off my 12 inch long hair and change me into a woman.Well, okay that's a little drastic. But through my teenager-hood, Penny and the rest of the Make-Up Bar was there to beautify me through everything. Unlike other salons I've been in where everything is preppy and boring, the Make-Up Bar is the watering hole for the Amazon Goddesses of South Jersey. Seriously. They can make you look like a Kardshian with the blink of an eye (And I love the Kardashians, so don't hate.)I haven't done any of their spa treatments ("You can pay for that yourself!!" Says my mother to 15 year old me, yearning for a facial and a pedicure), but as far as hair cuts and make-up, it's my favorite place to go. Like I said, I've known Penny since I was an awkward 14 year old, and she knows my personality and my sense of style and when I suggest something to her she knows how to make it for me instead of just copying a photo. She is the best in the salon for up-dos. I've gotten my hair cut by Jonathan once before when Penny was out of town, and he was good and I see his work when I go in, I definitely recommend he and Penny over everyone else. Lisa is the owner and does makeup/waxing and she is a genius. I wanted to look like a glamazon for my cousin's wedding so I booked an appointment to get my makeup done with Lisa (who I had gone to before for both proms and another family wedding.)  I consider myself "fashion forward" and I came in with a beauty shot from a Versace show a few seasons earlier and she mimicked it perfectly, and luckily it was a great compliment to my dress. I was in a wedding a few months laterand had my makeup and hair done by the bride's salon, which turned out fine, (after all, the wedding wasn't about me-- well, at least not outright) but all I kept thinking was "I wish Penny and Lisa were here."It is expensive, I won't lie. But this isn't Hair Cuttery, this is a real salon that can transform you from a tired mess to a polished vixen. Read Less
